All-sports survey:

Christopher Newport placed first and Apprentice School third in overall winning percentage in the 2013-14 school year’s Virginia Sports Information Directors College Division all-sports survey.

The Captains were 229-100-4 (69.4 percent) as they transitioned from the USA South to the Capital Athletic Conference.

Apprentice won the women’s survey at 81.5 percent (22-5 in its only women’s sport, basketball). CNU’s women (142-52-2) were third at 72.96 percent.

Mary Washington won the men's survey.

Swimming:

Emily Wylam, a Grafton High graduate, was named the head coach of men’s and women’s swimming at the University of Rochester (N.Y.).

She had been the associate head coach for men’s and women’s swimming at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, Ohio — which, like Rochester, is in the University Athletic Association, a collection of Division III research universities.

Before getting into coaching, she was a four-time Mid-American Conference champion for Division I Ohio.

Steve Clevenger had four hits -- including the go-ahead double in the ninth -- and five RBI as the Norfolk Tides (24-35) boosted their winning streak to a season-long four games by defeating the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 7-6 in Pennsylvania.

Clevenger, who entered the contest 0-for-11 in three games since being optioned to Norfolk from Baltimore on May 30, singled and doubled three times. Norfolk trailed 6-5 with two outs in the ninth, but Clevenger plated two runs with a double off of Robert Coello (1-1).

The five RBI tied a Norfolk season-high, previously set by Buck Britton.

Veteran reliever Heath Bell (1-0) earned the win with a scoreless eighth inning, while Evan Meek picked up his third save in four days with a perfect ninth.

Julio Borbon homered as part of a three-hit night, while Chris Marrero added three hits to extend his season-long hitting streak to eight games.
